I was born with the nickname Al. My aunts chose to call me Al, after Al Tantay na sikat daw 20 something years ago. Growing up, my play mates use to call me "al-alya", an Ilocano word for ghost. I really had no problems with that.
Then they started calling me lapayagan because of my bigger than the normal size ears. Lapayagan is an Ilocano term used to call someone with "big ears". I thought that's synonymous to being ugly so I hated it when they tease me because of that.
As a teen, I've tried to hide them. Thanks to my theeek hair. I've been sporting a long hair ever since even with a "no proper haircut - no exam" policy back in high school. All just to hide my ears.
Two years ago my brother in law and I decided to get a hair cut. It was December and was freezing cold in Baguio, and out of nowhere we decided to go bald. My friends liked it. For some reasons, no one noticed my ultra big ears anymore.
